Very sweet cottage in a good location. Probably more suited to a couple than family of four (with slightly older kids) and a dog just due to size. Watch your head...bathroom and stairs down to kitchen are low for anyone above 5 foot. Comfortable main bedroom and very clean.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Sea Salt Cottage. The location is just a 2 minute walk from the harbour and lovely bustling centre of Porthleven. Great access to coastal walking and also the beautiful Penrose Estate. Portheleven also has some excellent restaurants and pubs. The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable. It is set on 3 levRead moreels with low ceilings on the stairs so bumps to the head are a potential hazard! Parking was easy on the street Hide

Lovely cottage. Great location. Well-decorated and well-appointed. If you have any mobility issues or are anything near 6ft tall - you may want to check with the owners if you want to stay, as the stairs are small, narrow and tricky - and some door frames are extremely low. But we had a great stay. A nice property.
